Chapter 1650: Going to Hell
Chapter 1650: Going to Hell
Sam gave the list to the clan's leader and walked in along with his friends.
By now, Sam and his friends are like honorary members of the Gaja clan. All they are lacking is a last name and for that reason, there are many elders trying to fix up their daughters with them. Even the young ladies are awfully eager to be with them.
Of course, Sam rejected all the advances and the trio is also trying its best to not to get too annoyed at this.
Luckily, Giyon has enough power to throw them all away with just a glare, so whenever she is with them at least, the groups are not trying hard to throw their daughters at them.
After entering the clan and resting for a while, Sam gathered his friends for a meeting and this time the siblings are included as well.
"Almost all enemies of Gaja clan are gone. There is only a couple of them left and you all know who that is."
"The Hairy Savage and his father."
"That is true. But from the information I got from the Demon Soul Swordsman, both of them are not active for a while. They are not even present on their mountain.
So, It could be that we can relax or we can also be paranoid about this.
One thing I suggest is that since they need the kids, we openly create a situation that seemed like Saran and his family is leaving the clan.
We can make them appear at a few realms here and there and create an illusion that are traveling around to keep the kids safe."
The siblings frowned as they heard his plan.
"Why do we need to do that now? Isn't everything alright currently?" Grivon asked in confusion.
"Yeah, but I don't know what will happen after I leave. You must have forgotten. It has already been six years since we started this. I need to leave for my task.
And I am telling this now because, from what I learned from other players, once you accept the task, you cannot return even to say goodbyes.
I witnessed it myself from a couple of other players who left a month ago. So, once I accept the task, there is no coming back. That is why I am telling you guys these things.
I am sure you can handle yourself for the most part, but the Hairy Savage and his father of a different level, it is better to not get into a full-on fight with them. You either have to wait for me or your parents to be here if you want to do that.
But from the looks of it your parents are not coming back any time soon."
"We get it. So, any ideas on where you would be?"
"I don't know. But for some reason, Gambler told me to join six years later. I thought there could be some massive event happening at that time. But there is none. There is also no information from that supposedly knowledgeable old man.
I can only give up on knowing more about it and leaving this place. I cannot delay it anymore. I am actually three days late than the recommended time."
"So, what are we going to do?"
Philip asked as he took a sip of his wine.
"The three of you are going to enter the Divine Realms."
Everyone was shocked.
"What? Divine realms? Without you?"
"Yes. I don't know where I am going, but I am sure that it is something related to Divine Realms, I am already at the peak of what the current world can offer.
Even if it isn't, there is going to be a time for me to enter that realm.
You guys go ahead and get everything ready for me."
The three of them once again exchanged glances, but this time, they are smiling. Grinning from ear to ear.
"Don't even think about it. You are not competing this time."
The grins are gone.
"What does it matter to you? All you need is for us to be there. We will do it however we want."
"That is a new place and I might not even be there. If you start competing like usual and mess things up, I won't be there to manage it.
And you guys are getting way too competitive nowadays, what if someone else tries to take advantage of it?"
"It is not like we are that easy to fool. We can manage ourselves."
"Not happening."
And thus the bickering began.
The siblings were a bit dumbfounded no matter how many times they have seen this.
After a session of that, Sam finally caved in.
"Do what you want. But I won't tolerate if you guys are doing something stupid by the time I get back. Keep yourselves in check."
Then they talked about all the preparations that are needed before Sam leaves the place.
They went back to Desolate after arranging everything for Saran and his family. The kids are staying in Desolate at Dusk, where the Old Beast is going to take care of them.
Sam still couldn't estimate what the strength of the Old Beast is, but he is sure that no matter what happens, The Hairy Savage or his father cannot do shit when the family is his protection.
Of course, they are going to come out and travel randomly here and there to mislead the enemies, but overall, they are going to be kept safe by the Old Beast.
After that was done, Sam went to meet his students who are already at the Peak stage of the Consummate stage. Of course Mortal Plane.
Their growth is fast. Way faster than Sam's own. He gave them some goals on what they should do next and finally prepared to leave.
All he had to do is just activate the wrist screen once again and contact Ling Tian.
He noticed this from a few people that left before. Dayus actually left six months ago. Noah and Kumar left a month ago.
Sam did tell them that the six-year mark is a good one, but they went on anyway. Arkiv is still not there at the cultivation level, so is waiting.
As for the rest of them, Sam doesn't know as they are not really in contact with them.
Sam once again felt the same feeling he had when Hel summoned him along with the rest of the players.
Ling Tian appeared in front of him.
"You are finally here. Your friends already started their tasks. I was thinking that you will lag behind."
"Can we just skip right to the task?"
"Alright. Alright. Don't get hasty. You will have all the time in the world for a while.
Before we go deep into details, let me explain where you are going to be until the task is finished."
"Where would that be?"
"Hell."
"What?"
Sam was shocked. He almost felt like he heard it wrong.
"You heard me right. You are going to stay in the hell until the task is finished. At least for most of the time. In between, you will be let out into Divine realms once in a while to finish some other tasks."
"What do you mean by staying hell though? I don't understand."
"Well, before we go into that, let me explain something to you.
From the Astral Plane to the Divine Plane of cultivation, there are two ways you can reach it. The first one is through faith. Most people choose that.
But the second way is cleansing. A method that is not often chosen by many people, because most of them die while doing this. But do keep in mind that you will become really strong if you opt for that and succeed at the end of it."
"I already know that."
"Come on, let me finish.
There is also a known third way, the hybrid method between two. People basically choose one primary method and then they will use the second one as a secondary one to increase a bit of their strength.
This is also kind of popular, particularly among the rich brats in the Divine Realms.
Currently, one of the goals in these tasks is to break through to the Divine Realm and you are going to do that in a very different way and a way that was not used in a very very long time is not just this but any other world.
It is a mixture of not just cleansing and faith, but there is a hidden method that was not even known to many people for centuries.
And for this method, you are going to stay in the literal hell.
The hell that you know of. Hell, that is where the souls gather to cleanse their sin before they go through reincarnation again.
And you are going to do that in almost isolation without any contact with the rest of your fellow players, but of course, you will be knowing the progress of other players.
So, before I go into more details, let me congratulate you for being one of the very few who is entering hell as a living human being."
